Sleep disorders, cramps, heaviness and tingling in the legs are just the basic list of problems associated with the mysterious restless legs syndrome. These problems are very unpleasant and it has not yet been established why they occur or how to deal with them. However, folk medicine has been able to cope with this problem, but not exactly as you would expect. This remedy is not a special herb or a change in diet, but an ordinary bar of soap that is placed under the sheet. Is it strange? Yes, it is. But many people swear that it really works.
Restless legs syndrome is mysterious and causes sleep problems
Some recent studies of the American population have revealed that almost one in ten Americans currently suffer from the set of problems known as restless legs syndrome. This disorder is accompanied by symptoms such as discomfort in the legs and other parts of the body, which lead to pain, heaviness and an urge to move. Added to this are itching, tingling or numbness, as well as swelling, increased visibility of veins on the legs and varicose veins.
Because the troubles usually come at moments of rest, patients generally suffer most just before sleep, which prevents them from trying to fall asleep. All the consequences of insufficient sleep, such as irritability and fatigue, therefore add to the accompanying symptoms.
But what does soap have to do with it?
People who have battled this syndrome for many years agree on a peculiar phenomenon. If they place a piece of soap under the sheet, it seems that the cramps and all the discomfort magically disappear. This strange and bizarre method, based on the experiences of thousands of people, brings real and tangible results.
Some theories attempting to explain this phenomenon talk about the magnesium content in the soap, which rises into the skin through the sheet and thus helps alleviate the problems. After all, magnesium supplements are usually recommended for a restful sleep.
So how to use this method? Just take a bar of soap, place it under the sheets and wait for the first results.
